Step 1: Solar Panels Capture Sunlight
The solar panels on your roof absorb sunlight and convert it into power during daylight hours. This step is crucial as it harnesses renewable energy from the sun, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Step 2: Solar Energy Powers Your Home
The solar power flows into your home’s electrical panel. From there, this energy is distributed to power your appliances, lighting, and other electronic devices. At this stage, you’re directly using clean, green energy to power your home or business.
Step 3: Excess Energy Feeds The Grid
If your solar panels produce more electricity than your home consumes, the surplus energy is fed back into the local grid. Many systems include net metering, where you can earn credits or payments for the excess energy, offsetting any remaining power bill.
Step 4: Night Time Power From The Grid
If your solar system doesn’t include a battery, your home will draw electricity from the grid during nighttime or low sunlight hours. While your solar panels power your home during the day, the grid acts as a backup energy source when solar production is unavailable.
Step 5: Batteries Store Energy
For systems with battery storage, any excess electricity is stored in solar batteries. These batteries allow you to use solar power even at night or during cloudy days, increasing energy independence and reducing reliance on the grid.
Step 6: Monitoring Your System
Modern solar systems include monitoring tools to track performance and efficiency. Through apps or web platforms, you can see how much energy your system is producing, using, and saving, ensuring optimal performance and identifying any issues promptly.
